I have been seeing these "patterns" for yarn/beaded curtains, but it was a lot more work than I wanted to do. So I had this impossible-to-use yarn, tried to crochet with it, and it was just more difficult than I wanted to deal with, but it was so textural and looked so pretty just by itself. I wanted to use up those ten balls, rather than just let them take up space. And thus the "faux beaded curtain" was born. And its all just yarn off the spool- and a GREAT way to use up yarn very quickly.

How to do it:So measure the width of the window or hallway you want the curtain for. (Mine was 40")Crochet a chain that long, and then do two rows of single crochet.Depending on how long you want the curtain, cut lengths twice that long. (I wanted 60" long, so I cut 120")Fold the strand in half, and in each single crochet stitch, put the folded end in, and bring the ends through the loop to secure it in the stitch. Do that for the length of the chain. Put up some nails, and enjoy!

i got it at a.c. moore in a big sale bin, and they were in plastic bags- but no labels anywhere. im very sorry, i wish i could tell you! it seems like some kind of viscose yarn. that would be my guess. but really, you could use any yarn you wanted and found lots of!

jettetheimpala~ it is wonderful to walk through! so light and soft.lalalalucy~ i like that its quiet too... but its actually kind of strange that it doesnt make noise- you kind of expect it to, but instead, its just silent.
